Our read on HLAL
CThe original US-listed halal equity ETF: roughly 220 large and mid-cap American stocks that clear FTSE's Shariah business and balance-sheet screens, with a per-share purification figure published every quarter.
The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the total return of the FTSE USA Shariah Index.
Why people hold it
- No alcohol, gambling or conventional banking, and debt plus cash-and-interest items must each stay under 33.333% of total assets. Yasaar Limited runs the screens.lseg.comfunds.wahedinvest.com
- The fund posts a per-share purification amount each quarter, generally before the dividend, so holders can donate the non-compliant sliver instead of estimating it.funds.wahedinvest.com
- Launched in 2019 as the first US-listed Shariah-compliant equity ETF, and it still carries the size and volume that keep a screened niche fund practical to trade.nasdaq.com
- Plain index replication of the FTSE USA Shariah Index, and it hugs that benchmark about as closely as anything in its peer group.
Worth knowing
- 0.50% a year sits well above plain-vanilla large-cap peers (ILCB charges 0.03%). The screening and purification machinery is what the extra buys.
- Interest-based screens rule out banks and insurers, leaving roughly 220 names tilted toward technology and healthcare, so it can behave differently from the broad market.lseg.comnasdaq.com
- Distributions come quarterly, and acting on the published purification amount is the shareholder's job, not the fund's.funds.wahedinvest.com
